Life should be worth telling stories to the next generation. And the only way to do so is cruise traveling.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain

Fear often acts as an anchor holding us back from embracing new opportunities. However, true explorers understand that growth only happens when we let go of fear and take bold leaps into the unknown. As Neale Hurston wisely stated, “There are years that ask questions and years that answer.” By stepping out of our comfort zones, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and allow ourselves to grow in ways we never thought possible.

Consider this: when explorers set sail, they leave behind the safety of the shore. They face uncertainty, rough waters, and unpredictable challenges. Yet, it is precisely because of these risks that their journeys become transformative. Similarly, in our own lives, it is when we let go of the familiar and embrace the unknown that we truly discover who we are and what we are capable of achieving.

Igniting Curiosity

“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” – Oprah Winfrey

Exploration ignites a sense of curiosity within us. It awakens our inner explorer and encourages us to question everything around us. As we embark on new adventures, these exploration-themed quotes act as beacons guiding us towards uncharted territories where endless possibilities await.

Imagine standing at the edge of a vast ocean with nothing but open water stretching out before you. The horizon disappears into the distance, leaving you with a sense of wonder and anticipation. This feeling is what drives explorers throughout history to set sail into the great unknown. It’s what compels us to seek out new experiences and push beyond our limits.

So, as you read these quotes about exploration, let them fuel your curiosity. Let them inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace the thrill of discovering new horizons. Remember that life is an adventure waiting to be explored; don’t let fear or complacency hold you back from experiencing its full potential.

Enchanting Cruise Quotes

Immerse yourself in a world where words paint vivid pictures, evoking wonder and awe for the sea’s enchanting spell. Experience moments filled with magic as you delve into these mesmerizing quotes about the sea’s beauty and power. Celebrate nature’s grandeur through poetic expressions that capture its vastness, mystery, and breathtaking allure. Let yourself be transported to distant shores through lyrical quotes that evoke a sense of wonder and reverence for the sea. Discover how these enchanting quotes can awaken your senses and deepen your appreciation for the wonders of the ocean.

The Wonder of Nature’s Canvas

Nature has an uncanny ability to create breathtaking scenes that leave us in awe. The sea, with its ever-changing moods and colors, serves as an endless source of inspiration for poets, writers, and dreamers alike. It is a canvas on which nature paints its most magnificent masterpieces.

These words by Jacques Yves Cousteau perfectly encapsulate the captivating effect the sea has on our souls. Once we allow ourselves to be immersed in its beauty, we become forever enchanted by its spell.

• “The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous; enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.” – Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin beautifully captures the sensory experience of being near the ocean. Its touch is both gentle and powerful, embracing us with a sense of tranquility while igniting our senses.

Awe-Inspiring Power Unleashed

Beyond its serene beauty lies an untamed force that commands respect – a power capable of stirring emotions deep within us. These quotes remind us of just how small we are in comparison to this vast expanse of water.

Jacques Yves Cousteau’s words resonate once again, reminding us that the sea’s spell is not easily broken. Its power and allure are everlasting, leaving an indelible mark on our souls.

• “The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.” – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s cruise quote reminds us to approach the sea with humility and patience. Only when we let go of our desires and expectations can we truly appreciate the gifts it has to offer.

Reverence for the Unknown

The sea holds secrets within its depths, mysteries waiting to be unraveled. These cruise quotes capture the sense of wonder and reverence we feel when faced with the vast unknown that lies beneath its surface.

• “The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.” – Robert Wyland

Robert Wyland’s words remind us that the ocean is not merely a physical entity but also a source of inspiration for our hearts and minds. It sparks our imagination and fills us with joy as we contemplate its vastness.

• “We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.” – Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa’s quote serves as a reminder that even though we may feel small in comparison to the immense ocean, our actions matter. Each individual contribution adds up to create a greater whole.

Awakening Your Senses

Quotes have a way of transporting us to different places and evoking powerful emotions. These enchanting quotes about the sea awaken our senses, allowing us to experience its wonders even if we are far from its shores.

Jacques Yves Cousteau’s quote resonates once again, emphasizing the everlasting hold the sea has on our sense of wonder. It invites us to imagine ourselves within its embrace, feeling the salty breeze against our skin and hearing the rhythmic crashing of waves.

You’ve done the hard part: the man or woman of your dreams is yours, and aren’t they lovely? Do we ever have a wedding spot to match — aboard a Carnival ship! A Carnival shipboard wedding is a great way to start your life together… a spot as unique as the two of you. After all, think of all the weddings you’ve been to — we’ve got the fun alternative, with a view that’s hard to find on land and a sea breeze you just can’t get at a country club. Your shipboard wedding will be held in the port of your choice, so choose a city you’ll remember forever as the one where you made it official. Leave wedding stress ashore, because for a simple fee Carnival takes care of it all: the ceremony includes not only an officiant to get the knot tied right, but little details like the cake, champagne, music and more. And perhaps best of all: once you’re married, you’re already on your honeymoon! Your shipboard wedding can be customized to fit your imagination and budget. Add packages that include everything from a simple open bar and hors d’oeuvres reception to an elegant sit-down luncheon in the ship’s formal restaurant. Whatever you’re looking for, let our professional wedding agents help you design your ideal wedding. Learn more about shipboard weddings.

Wedding Venues

Personal touches.

What matters most on your wedding day is that you’ll be spending it with the person of your dreams. But if you could custom-design your dream wedding, how would you make it truly your own? Let’s start with where — a Carnival destination wedding lets you choose a scenic island as the background for your memories. The blue skies, the sounds of nature and even the sea-scented breeze as you say “I do” will become some of the most vivid parts of the memories you make that day. It’s important to remember that a Carnival destination wedding makes planning easy, because we take care of nearly every detail. We’ll take the bride and groom to the wedding site, select a local officiant to perform the ceremony, and handle the music and bouquet. We’ll even help you obtain a legally-binding marriage certificate in your destination port! Since we’ve already thought of everything, all you need to think about is how great it’s going to be. Learn more about destination weddings.

These folks celebrated their wedding on a Carnival cruise. If you did too, we’d love to see! Hashtag your photos #CarnivalCruiseWedding — you may see them right here.

Cruise Ship Quotes

Cruising isn’t just about the destinations you’ll visit. In fact, some would say it isn’t about that at all! In many ways, the cruise ship itself is the destination.

In fact, 1/3 of guests don’t even get off the cruise ship each day, choosing instead to enjoy the time aboard. While we love a quiet pool, we also love to check out the ports!

In any case, listed below are a few of my favorite boat cruise quotes.

10. “Cruising is fixing your boat in exotic locations.” — Author Unknown

11. “To desire nothing beyond what you have is surely happiness. Aboard a boat, it is frequently possible to achieve just that. That is why sailing is a way of life, one of the finest of lives.” ― Carleton Mitchell

12. “The thing I realized these last few days is that the earth is a big place.” — Paul Cayard

13. “The planning stage of a cruise is often just as enjoyable as the voyage itself, letting one’s imagination loose on all kinds of possibilities. Yet translating dreams into reality means a lot of practical questions have to be answered.” — Jimmy Cornell

14. “Ships are the nearest things to dreams that hands have ever made, for somewhere deep in their oaken hearts the soul of a song is laid.” — Robert N. Rose

15. “The lovely thing about cruising is that planning usually turns out to be of little use.”   — Dom Degnon

Sailing Quotes

The opportunity to sail on a sailboat is something I treasure. Truly, watching the crew adeptly steer the boat with only the power of the wind was mind-blowing.

So what makes sailing so magical? Check out these sailing quotes to find out.

19. “Sailors, with their built-in sense of order, service and discipline, should really be running the world.” — Nicholas Monsarrat

20. “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain

21. “A sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind.” — Webb Chiles

22. “The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective.”  ― Henry David Thoreau

23. “It is not that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.” — Sir Francis Drake, English Explorer

River Cruise Quotes

River cruising is becoming more well-known these days with the opportunity to float all around the world. The slow rhythm, the tastes, and the tiny ports are all part of what makes river cruising undeniably wonderful.

Ask anyone who has been on a river cruise, and they will tell you it’s hard to beat. (My mom cites river cruising on Avalon Waterways as the best trip she’s ever taken, and she has taken a lot!)

Until you visit, look no further for some amazing quotes related to river cruising.

30. “Who hears the rippling of rivers will not utterly despair of anything.” — Henry David Thoreau

Boat/Event Concerns?

If you have never attended an event on one of your yachts then you might have some boat related questions regarding your wedding day. Schedule Your Special Day

Q: Will I Get Sea Sick?

At Electra Cruises all of our events are held within the Harbor where the water is calm, there are no ocean waves in sight, and the yachts sail very slowly. Plus the yachts are simply too large to be affected by a wave!

Q: Are the Boats Child Friendly?

If the bride and groom have invited your kids we welcome them too! For the most part the yachts are fully enclosed and there are tall safety rails along the parameters of the outside decks. All 5 yachts are also equipped with child life vests as well.

Q: Is Their Enough Time?

Majority of our events are held in 4 hours. Unless you anticipate having a long ceremony it tends to be more than enough time. In that case we can always add more time! Just ask a representative!

Q: Is the Food Good?

Each of our yachts has a full galley head chef and kitchen staff who work diligently the day of your event to prepare your customized menu. Everything is prepared from scratch on the yacht itself according to your event so nothing is catered or will sit out for long periods of time.

Q: Is the Boat Spacious Enough?

Depending on the size of your party we can host a small intimate wedding for 20 or have all of your friends and relatives for a wedding of 300. The beauty of having a yacht wedding is having a designated deck for all of your festivities so you never feel crammed.

Q: Is the Boat Handicap Friendly?

While we have guests in wheelchairs almost weekly our largest yacht the Eternity has an elevator that reaches all 3 decks so no one has to miss a beat!

Q: What if Someone Needs to Leave the Boat?

Guests with young children or elderly tend to be concerned about not being able to leave if needed. Not only are there water taxis and gondolas who can take private parties back to the dock, there are medical water ambulances that can arrive at the yacht within seconds if there is an emergency.

Q: What if there is Wind or Rain?

Because our yachts are almost entirely enclosed the nature of your party will not be affected rain or shine. In fact photographers prefer overcast weather for your photos!

Q: What if there is Mechanical Breakdown?

Our service staff is also made up of knowledgeable experienced deckhands who are constantly doing engine room checks to prevent problems and ensure the yacht is running properly.

Bare Necessities Tour and Travel announced its newest nude cruise will be the Norwegian Sky cruise ship out of Miami.

The Big Nude Boat 2025 cruise will be a 10-day trip taking travelers to the Caribbean with scheduled stops that include the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and St. Lucia.

Bare Necessities said it will be taking over the Norwegian Pearl from Feb. 3 to Feb. 14, 2025.

According to the cruise itinerary , clothes-free experiences will be planned throughout the trip including nude beach days on private islands and nude days at sea.

But there will also be proper nudist etiquette and other rules for guests on board that include no photo zones around the pool area and dance venues, according to the cruise’s policies .

The travel company recommended that passengers bring some sort of casual clothing for the times they need to dress, along with a swimsuit as not all excursions will be clothing optional, but lingerie or fetish wear will not be an acceptable form of clothing on board.
